A new target in AIDS therapy development is HIV-1 integrase (IN). It was proven that HIV-1 IN required divalent metal cations to achieve phosphodiester bond cleavage of DNA. Accordingly, all newly investigated potent IN inhibitors contain chemical fragment ...
In vitro breeding and somaclonal variation were used as tools to improve the potential of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) to extract and accumulate toxic metals. Calli from B. juncea were cultivated on a modified MS medium supplemented with 10–200 μM C ...
The thermal decomposition of three synthetic copper sulfides (chalcocite (Cu2S), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), and enargite (Cu3AsS4)) and two commercial copper concentrates has been studied on a thermobalance (T = 1173-1773 K) and an imaging furnace (T approxima ...
There is increasing concern about environmental pollution by diffuse emissions of various environmental hazards emitted by transportation activities. For the first time substances released by railways to the environment were investigated. We considered the ...
Charge-transfer (CT) salts such as copper-2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (CuDDQ) are promising components of reversible resistive memory switching devices. In the study presented here, we report on the composition of CuDDQ layers grown from aceton ...
Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM) and copper staining are combined to achieve visualisation of proteins on surfaces. Proteins are adsorbed on a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane or on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) surface and stained us ...
This thesis addresses the link between capillarity parameters, i.e. surface tension and contact angle, and the infiltration of porous preforms with molten metal by pressure infiltration The method used is to conduct pressure infiltration experiments of sel ...
Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), we demonstrate that a free (2]catenane consisting of two interlocking 30-membered rings (cat-30) can be deposited on ...
The prediction of material microstructure is of great interest to the material designers since the property and performance of materials depend strongly on their microstructures. In this work, a Monte Carlo approach is used to investigate the normal grain ...
This work was carried out in a collaborative framework between Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and an industrial partner ST Microelectronics. RF MEMS passives are key devices for the RF front-end in modern transceiver and receiver architectures, o ...
